Stats & Training
The stat bars tell the story: Attack carries everything and Speed's dead weight. But this Woolly Crab Pokemon still yields 2 Attack EVs per fight on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The detached pincers of these Pokémon are delicious. Some Trainers bring Lechonk into the mountains just to search for them.
Though its punches are powerful, this Pokémon’s movements are sluggish. It blows icy bubbles from its mouth to immobilize its opponents.
Crabominable Weakness
Crabominable is weak to Fire, Fighting, Flying, Psychic, Steel, and Fairy. That's a lot of weak spots to cover so team support is important.
